Devine was created to acquire and oversee amateur athletic events, particularly marathons, triathlons and road races. With the goal of building new events and taking existing events to the next level, Devine created the Salt Lake City Marathon in 2004 and the Chicago Big 10K. Since the privately held company was established in 2003. Devine acquired the Chicago Half Marathon and the City of Los Angeles Marathon..

Experience the rush of adrenaline on the Start line in front of Mandalay Bay when the gun goes off to Elvis’ "Viva Las Vegas" and fireworks. Ideal weather and a loop course with a gradual mid-race incline followed by a downhill sprint to the finish line set the stage for exhilarating Races designed to set and break records, and shatter personal bests.

"We anticipated that there would be great excitement among runners to come to Las Vegas and have the opportunity to run down the world famous Strip, and our increasing numbers is a clear indication that we have been successful in making this fun and exciting race appealing to participants," said New Las Vegas Marathon President Dr. William A. Burke. "We want the race to reflect the energy of Las Vegas so we are planning to add even more entertainment per mile this year to enhance the unique nature of the race and its locale."

Giving the race its Las Vegas flare is the return of the "Only in Vegas" Run Thru Wedding Chapel, where more than 30 running couples from around the world will stop at the Chapel located at mile five to get married or renew their vows in a live television ceremony performed by Running Reverend William Petersen. This, combined with the first-ever group of running showgirls and the largest gathering of running Elvi, and all Elvis - all the time music at the Start and Finish lines will underline the "Only in Vegas" experience for race participants. Host hotel Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino will issue a limited edition collectible New Las Vegas Marathon gambling chip, feature custom-designed blackjack tables with Marathon artwork and the opportunity to bet on the outcome of the race.

"Of course, the best Vegas experience we can offer our participants is the opportunity to run down the Strip in all its glory, with all the lights, fountains and even a volcano, everything a visitor to Las Vegas wants to see," said Dr. Burke.

The excitement begins with the New Las Vegas Marathon Quality of Life Expo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in December, where more than 200 exhibitors will showcase the latest in health and fitness. In another "Only in Vegas" experience, participants will be directed to world class restaurants offering discounts in a "call your own shot" Carbo Load dinner. At 6:00am on race day, participants will be part of what is undoubtedly the most exciting new event in the world of "destination marathons".
